All of Kim Kardashian’s biggest business flops that she’d rather we all forget about
I just know she lies awake and thinks about these at night
Kim Kardashian certainly has her fair share of successful businesses, however there are also some that I think she might rather she could forget ever existed.
So, let’s have a look at all of her biggest business flops, and see exactly what went down to make them fail so miserably.
The Kardashian Kard
In 2010 Kim decided for some unknown reason to launch a prepaid MasterCard, which had a certain amount of dollars on it and of course had a picture of her face on it.
Whilst the concept seems fairly simple, it turns out that the Kardashian Kard also featured a lot of fees, including an initial payment of $99.95 to buy the card, a monthly fee of $7.95, a $6 fee if you closed the account and an insane $2 charge every time you actually paid with it. Yikes.
The Connecticut Attorney General, Richard Blumenthal wrote a letter to the issuer of the card, explaining that Kim Kardashian was trying to market the product towards those who might not understand the additional fees, and they quickly backed out of the card.
However, slightly embarrassingly, only 250 people had even bought the MasterCard so…
Khroma Beauty
In 2012 she tried to dip her toe into the makeup market with Khroma Beauty, which was sold exclusively at Ulta.
However, the brand quickly encountered trademark disputes with Kroma Beauty, another cosmetics company.
They got into a messy legal battle and ultimately the company was forced to rebrand, and soon completely disappeared from Ulta’s shelves.
Va-Va-Va-Nilla Cupcake Mix
Yep, Kim Kardashian even went as far as to launch her own cupcake line, called Va-Va-Va-Nilla Cupcake Mix of course.
The cupcakes cost $13 and came with vanilla cake mix, cupcake liners, a recipe for frosting, and pink sugar crystals.
However they weren’t received well at all with reviews saying the cupcakes didn’t taste good, and the line was quickly shut down.
